Field Service Engineer

Are you a mechanically biased Service Engineer, Maintenance Engineer or Mechanical Engineer who enjoys fault finding, fixing machinery and working directly with customers?

We’re recruiting for a well-established and highly successful machinery manufacturer business looking to add another Field Service Engineer to its experienced UK service team.

This role would suit someone who is approximately 80% mechanical / 20% electrical – you don’t need to be an electrical expert or a PLC programmer. What’s much more important is that you’re mechanically strong, practical, confident working on industrial machinery and able to logically diagnose and resolve faults.

What will you be doing?

Working from home and covering an established territory across the East of England, you’ll be responsible for looking after customers and their machinery, including:

• Planned preventative maintenance and servicing
• Mechanical fault finding and breakdown repairs
• Diagnosing problems and getting machinery back up and running
• Basic electrical fault finding
• Repairing, testing and maintaining industrial equipment
• Assisting with the installation of new machinery
• Providing customers with basic equipment training
• Monitoring machine performance and identifying potential issues
• Building strong relationships with customers across your territory

You’ll have your own established service area, with occasional cover for neighbouring territories during holidays or sickness.

What are we looking for?

We’re particularly interested in hearing from engineers who have a strong mechanical background and are comfortable around industrial machinery.

You could currently be working as a:

Field Service Engineer | Mechanical Engineer | Maintenance Engineer | Service Technician | Mechanical Fitter | Maintenance Technician | Machinery Engineer

Ideally, you’ll have:

• A mechanical/electrical engineering qualification such as C&G, ONC, NVQ or equivalent
• Strong mechanical engineering skills
• Some basic electrical knowledge and fault-finding ability
• Experience servicing, repairing or maintaining industrial machinery
• A practical, hands-on approach to engineering
• Good fault-finding and problem-solving skills
• The confidence to work independently in the field
• Good customer-facing and communication skills

Experience with packaging, production, manufacturing, conveyors, automation or materials-handling machinery would be useful, but isn't essential.

If you’re mechanically strong and have the right engineering foundations, full training on the company's machinery will be provided.

The Company

You’ll be joining an established, profitable and highly respected business with decades of experience in the equipment industry.

You’ll also be joining an established service operation with a team of experienced Field Service Engineers around you.
